Default Check engine and Battery light on, need input

Both lights came on while I was running around town, along with the volt guage being around 10. There was a DTC that was for low battery voltage. So I went home, pulled the battery and had it tested and it was good. I checked the wiring connections at the voltage regulator and battery along with the grounds and everything seem to be fine. I then started the bike up again and checked the battery with a multimeter and it was around 14.5. The trouble lights were not on at this time. Toook the bike out for a little spin an everything seemed normal, volt guage was between 14 and 15. It's a 2012 flhx. What should I be looking at or testing next?

Thanks for the input. I read through the bulletin and the time frame for them replacing the regulators for free expired 2 months ago. Just my luck. Not sure how they can regulate a time frame to fix a known problem, so I guess I'll see what the dealer says.
